New 2017 Maruti Dzire vs Honda Amaze. Price, Specifications, Mileage

The new 2017 Maruti Dzire is a more modern car than the one it replaces. The Dzire now offers a longer list of features, a fresh design and better fuel efficiency. Its competitors have a reason to worry as the new Dzire looks all set to repeat the success story of its predecessors. Hyundai has already given an update to the Xcent.

Would the Amaze be able to give a tough competition to the Dzire? In this post we will compare the new 2017 Maruti Dzire with the Honda Amaze. So here goes the 2017 Maruti Dzire vs Honda Amaze comparison.

The petrol variants of new Dzire and the Amaze are almost equally matched, at least on papers. Though, a major difference is that the Amaze petrol offers an optional CVT, the new Dzire comes with an AMT for both its petrol and Diesel engine variants. Coming to the Diesel variants, Honda’s 1.5 iDTEC Diesel engine for the Amaze is far more superior than the Dzire’s Fiat-sourced 1.3 Multijet on paper. However, when it comes to on road performance, the Honda unit offers high NVH levels, poor refinement and a rather dull performance. This means that the Dzire Diesel is much better than the Amaze Diesel. Above all this, the Dzire Diesel also offers an optional AMT.
